Over the past few years, Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) have achieved state-of-the-art performance in machine learning tasks on graph data and have been widely applied to many real-world applications across different fields, such as traffic prediction, user behavior analysis, and fraud detection. However, networks in the real world are often with heterogeneous degree distributions, such […]

Bounce Health Innovation (Bounce) is a mini-cluster in medical technology that was launched in St. John’s in 2018 that connects frontline healthcare workers with developers, designers, patients, and entrepreneurs. It is operated by Newfoundland and Labrador Association of Technology and Innovation (NATI) and other industry partners, with a mission to accelerate the growth of the […]

The main aim of this research project is to develop and test a sustainable green remediation technology to bring down the contaminant levels in a hydrocarbon and heavy metal contaminated site so that it can be used for public use. Anthropogenic industrial activities can lead to accumulation of harmful hydrocarbons and heavy metals in soil […]

The objectives are to design and develop a Business Plan for a social enterprise that will create employment opportunities for youth from diverse cultural backgrounds and plan workshops for these youth to gain employability and entrepreneurship skills. The project will also create awareness of cultural diversity in the province.

The project will include a capital investment analysis for new equipment and production cost analysis for in-house products and resale products. The capital investment analysis includes a return on investment analysis for various new pieces of packaging, injection, and smokehouse equipment while considering equipment, labour, and maintenance costs. The analysis will examine the profitability of […]

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is a lifelong disorder caused by prenatal exposure to alcohol that impairs cognitive, behavioural, social, and emotional development. It is the leading preventable developmental disability in Canada, impacting an estimated four percent of the general population, with higher rates among certain vulnerable groups. Newfoundland and Labrador has the highest rates […]

At a high level, the goal of this project is to create a system for producing synthetic datasets based on real data. As a large financial crime detection firm, Verafin deals with large volumes of sensitive data which must be kept private, however they are also interested in collaborating with academics to gain new insights […]

TaskForceNL is dedicated to manufacturing, sourcing, and distributing personal protective equipment to organizations and businesses that require PPE due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As an individual, I will be helping the organization in whatever role is needed. These include social media channels. the integration of our information with services to better organize and display the […]

Pipelines are extremely important for the transportation of oil and gas. Buried pipelines can move in a relatively large distance under special scenarios, e.g. slope failure. Meanwhile, the surrounding soils are subjected to a large deformation. This project aims to develop a computer modeling technique to analyze the large-deformation behavior of soil and its impact […]

Petroleum contamination in soil and groundwater caused by the leakage of underground storage tank is one of the most frequently occurred incidents in North America. The cost of remediation can be significantly increased if the contamination was not treated in time or the site is far away from the waste management facility. a mobile soil-flushing […]

This project aims at developing an innovative technology through the utilization of fish waste as substrates for biosurfactant production. Through the proposed approach, fish waste will be recovered into fishery peptone and being used as a nutrient substrate for the synthesis of biosurfactant products with promising market values. The outcomes of this project will directly […]

Any offshore operation involves the utilization and maintenance of a number of subsea assets, and corrosion inspection is one of the important components. Visual inspection plays a crucial step towards corrosion inspection of subsea asset(s). This visual inspection involves analysis of images of the subsea asset revealing the surface condition of the asset(s), which includes […]
